Gonna need one to pull behind my 4 wheeler from the woods where I store my wood to the basement door. 4 wheeler is a Yamaha 400 big bear 2wd. No hills and about 1/4 mile. Thanks
My brother and I built one from some spare components we had around. Sent from my Z832 using Tapatalk
This is what I use. $250ish Northern Tool Ironton trailer with ATV wheels and tires. Hauled some pretty big loads on such a small trailer
The yutrax and polar trailers seem to work very well. What ATV rims fit on the Ironton trailer? After my mom shanghai'd my all steel ATV cart/ trailer up north, I've been looking at the cheap harbor freight one and the wide ATV tire mod looks perfect.
The dray is something we just sort of threw together and it works great if you want to haul out some lots; keeps them out of the dirt.
Backwoods Savage How does that dray do on trails that are slanted a bit? I have tried to skid logs using a chocker cable and the logs roll off of the trail.
Woodland Mills T-Rex dump trailer with walking beam axle....very solid build with removable box comes with uprights for loading logs.....good for 2000 lbs load....well balanced and easy to pull....would not be a problem pulling with your ATV over the terrain you described....my UTV is only 500 cc's and I pull a full load in 2wd.....you can even build your own like Dancan did... ....or you can build one using a discarded oil tank like this one which also dumps...
Too bad you are so far from NY. I have a small, heavier built trailer I would sell you. I used it for a few years prior to getting my tractor.
They're ITP Delta Steel 12x7 with Honda bolt pattern, 4x110 I believe. Had to get wheel adapters to go from the trailers 4x4 to the ATV 4x110.
It certainly will depend upon how clear the ground is and yes, they can and will slide if you are on snow or ice. On bare ground it is usually not a problem at all. On uneven ground it is better to use some larger runners too. One can take a small log and cut slabs off two sides. One for the underneath and the top for fastening the crossbars. I remember one year we skidded a lot of logs out of a woods that was really hilly. Speed made the difference on how well the dray will follow and for sure you may need some speed when going downhill! Can be a lot of fun.
Backwoods Savage I only have a JD X530 garden tractor for pulling anything at my place. I do not use my tractor during the winter so snow and ice would not be a problem. I have been thinking of using landscape timbers from Menards or Home Depot for the runners and making it about 3 feet wide. For better control would a rigid tow be better than using chain?
As others have indicated, it depends on your needed capacity and terrain you will be traveling-I haul in and out of some rather remote areas that otherwise I would not be able to access and thats why I went with the floating tandem axle---I've been really pleased-for whatever reason, it was substantially cheaper at Lowes than HD, delivered free to store
That's a Polar brand. Backwoods savage has a yutrax in his pics above. The yutrax can be had with tandem floating axles as well. They can be added later too. The best price on the yutrax is at northern tool.
